Dion + NSH 1st (24th) for SJ 1st (9th) + salary dump player?

Kessel to Buffalo makes a ton of sense! It would establish Buffalo as a playoff contender and threat.
- Bullot

Was Buffalo on his list of teams he would go to? And the thought of Tim Murray trading a potential superstar in eichel for Phil Kessel is laughable.

..............considering they add Kane and Kessel to their scoring!?
- Bullot

Still not enough...that team is bad. They are not merely a scorer or two away.

agree, they need a bunch of character guys like vinny, amac and l.schenn

pretty sure that publicized list from Kessel was last years list and he had to submit a new one this year per contract. So list could be different...

I can just see Beleskey in Montreal, he looks around and says "There sure aint any Getzlaf and Corey Perry talent here?

"I'm hearing a very strong rumor right now that the Phil Kessel trade could go down as early as tonight."

Damn it, I missed it! Who did the Leafs get for Kessel?

Potential superstar...........Eichel
Bonifide superstar............kessel

Kessel is 4th in league scoring last 5 years. There are few guarantees with draft picks, especially ones that come out of the College system.

Kessel has a garbage contract and plays the wing. Eichel is going to be a legit top line centre for 15+ years. On a rebuilding team, Buffalo would be insane to make that trade.

Kinda funny that Hitchcock "loves" Williams when he was the one who booted him out of Philly !!

Are you actually, as a Leafs fan, suggesting that's a good move for Buffalo?

What's next? Robidas for Darnel Nurse?

Talking pure goal scoring Kessel is up there with Stamkos and ahead of Kane. Kane gets 10.5 and so will Stammer..........and you think 8 for the same goals or more is garbage!? Give your head a shake.

Is Kessel really in Stamkos class for pure goal scoring?

Kessel would get 50 goals playing with RNH..............in a goal drought league.

Philly cheese steak Kessel is going to the Capitals. Backstrom Ovy and Kessel on the top line is just scary.
